Did you use an agent to help you find a place or did you do you own research. I am huge on research. It took me 2yrs to find a home here in Fla. lol. So with that I am just wondering.

Hi Kirsten, Great video as always! Do you mind sharing how you found your apartment, did you use a certain website or hired a company/person to help you find the perfect apartment? Any suggestions will be appreciated, I am in the process of applying for the D7 Visa. Muito Obrigada! 🙂

Some folks here in the 🇺🇸miss y’all 😍😍

Very informational 👍🏾😊

Thanks for the great advice, Kirsten! I’ve never really thought about looking for something within your budget in the best neighborhoods. That’s something to keep in mind anywhere you live. (And now noted in my mind.) I’m glad you were able to find a place you really love in a great neighborhood!

Hi Kristen, another great video! Please keep them coming. Thanks! 🎉✨️💥

Great points raised!

Kristen, your videos are always very transparent and honest to advise those who may be going over the experience of traveling there and looking for an apartment (in my opinion the most complicated and stressful situation in moving abroad), you bring real and honest common sense. Which are the top three neighborhoods in Lisbon to narrow the search?

Great Video!

Great tips.

Hey Kirsten! Great info!! So, I don't know how we do it, but I think it has a lot to do with timing and intuition…OK, some luck! We did not have any idea of area we wanted to live in Lisbon and it was solely based on price! We moved into a hotel so it was also based on affordability as well!! My main requirements were some sort of outdoor living space and a fully functioning kitchen…We ended up taking a smaller apt knowing it was temporary, but it had those 2 things! We got so lucky on the area(Avenidas Novas) and I have never been so happy living a simple minimalist lifestyle!! My guests stayed at the Lisbon Serviced Apartments just across the street from us…PERFECT! The key for us in finding our apartment and now home was being here and looking daily and finding it ourselves…Agent only for the process, but zero for finding what you want!!!

Great tips! I wouldn't have considered having the cheapest place in the best neighborhood. It makes sense 😄

Excellent content. All rules I also follow that have served me well. Wisdom and peace will follow using this advice. Great job!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks Kirsten—Appreciate your ‘words-of-wisdom’ from you and Mark. (1) Strongly concur…don’t underestimate the need for an elevator. When I was a teenager, I Iived w/my parents in a 4-floor walk-up. We were ALL younger back then and we ALL struggled. Don’t do it! ❌ (2) Agree 100-percent on the neighborhood idea. We’re still trying to figure out where we will live in PT. Our 2nd scouting trip is coming soon. 🤞🏻 (3) We’ll consider your point about the ‘extra’ bedroom. At this juncture we don’t know if our son will be joining us so we’re keeping an open mind. Overall, I appreciate your advice and ‘lessons learned’ videos! 🙏🏻
